Honghuang: I, Huanglong, refine the heavens and do not join the Chan sect

Chapter 201: Ghost Mother Returns, Haotian Reincarnates

Heaven beyond heaven, Zixiao Palace.

"It turns out it's her..."

Looking at the figure walking out of the sedan chair, Hongjun suddenly looked enlightened.

In ancient times, when the world had just been born, he defeated many brilliant opponents in order to prove his truth.

The most famous one among them, and the one known to all the creatures in the prehistoric world, is Rahu.

Luohou’s strength is indeed powerful, and he is the most difficult opponent among all the opponents defeated by Hongjun, but that does not mean that others are not capable.

On the contrary, no creature that Hongjun regards as an opponent is weak.

If these people were placed in the present, their qualifications and background would be no less than those of the Heavenly Saints.

Among these people, in addition to Luohou, there were several others who left a deep impression on Hongjun.

One of them is called the Nine Nether Ghost Mother, who is a key figure in the appearance of the underground world.

In order to allow Tiandao to gain more benefits, Hongjun joined forces with the then immature Tiandao.

Finally, he devised a plan to kill the Nine Nether Ghost Mother and suppress her soul deep in the Heavenly Dao, delaying the birth of the Underworld.

Since ancient times, the Way of Heaven has become the only rule that keeps the prehistoric world running. It was not until the early stage of the Lich War that this changed due to Huang Long.

But even so, delaying the birth of the underground tunnel for so many years still brought many benefits to the development of the heavenly path.

This allowed Hongjun to preach three times without any hindrance, causing all the powerful people in the prehistoric world to owe him a huge cause and effect.

Not only did it allow him to successfully merge with the Heaven, it also laid an important foundation for him to attain the status of Hunyuan Wuji Daluo Jinxian in the future.

The Nine Nether Ghost Mother was able to serve as the key to the birth of the tunnel when the world was first created. This alone is enough to show her extraordinaryness.

If he had not been killed by Hongjun, he would have become a powerful being famous in the prehistoric world, and his cultivation would at least not be weaker than that of a saint of the Heavenly Dao.

And the figure that walked out of the black sedan was none other than the Nine Nether Ghost Mother!
In other words, it was formed from some fragments of the Nine Nether Ghost Mother's true spirit, and only a small part of her cultivation was restored, which could not be compared with the ancient times.

But even so, it was enough to shock Hongjun.

You must know that since the defeat of the Nine Nether Ghost Mother, her true spirit has been suppressed by Hongjun in the depths of the Heavenly Dao.

And all traces of her existence were wiped out from the ancient world, leaving no possibility of her resurrection.

But today, Hongjun saw the Nine Nether Ghost Mother walked out safely and appeared on the prehistoric land.

Even if it is only a part of the true spirit, the cultivation level will be reduced to only one tenth.

But this also means that the Nine Nether Ghost Mother is no longer suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, but has the possibility of resurrection.

Over time, as her cultivation continues to recover, the remaining true spirits that were suppressed in the depths of the Heavenly Dao will be...

Under the natural operation of the law of cause and effect, they will gradually return together and eventually form the complete Nine Nether Ghost Mother.

"I still underestimated you..."

Hongjun's eyes flickered as he looked towards the direction of Guixu.

His gaze seemed to cross thousands of mountains and rivers and fall on Huang Long.

After a moment's silence, he sighed and did nothing further.

His original purpose in suppressing the Nine Nether Ghost Mother was to delay the birth of the underground tunnel and give the heavenly way more time to evolve and perfect.

Today, the way of heaven has evolved over so many years and has been basically perfected, and Hongjun himself has become the number one person in the prehistoric world.

In addition, the tunnel has already been built, so it will not be possible for the Nine Nether Ghost Mother to restore to her heyday overnight.

Moreover, even if the Nine Nether Ghost Mother could recover to her heyday, it would only make the power of the tunnel a little stronger.

It cannot have much impact on the structure of heaven and earth, nor can it affect Hongjun's plan to become the Immortal of Hunyuan Wuji Daluo.

At the same time, with the appearance of the Nine Nether Ghost Mother, he understood how Huang Long knew about the tunnel, and why he was able to help Hou Tu reincarnate and allow the tunnel to come into the world ahead of time.

He knew that the Nine Nether Ghost Mother had left a backup plan in ancient times.

Although even the Nine Nether Ghost Mother herself may not know whether this backup plan can be used.

But that was also a way to circumvent the backup plan laid by Hongjun, which he only figured out now.

So Hongjun's word "underestimate" on the one hand means he underestimated Huanglong.

Unexpectedly, he could steal a part of the Nine Nether Ghost Mother's true spirit and reshape her soul body without anyone noticing under the suppression of the Heavenly Dao.

On the other hand, he underestimated the Nine Nether Ghost Mother, thinking that she had a backup plan.

Guixu, a Taoist temple hidden in the clouds.

Huang Long noticed Hongjun's gaze. On the surface, he remained calm, without any emotion fluctuations.

In fact, he was quite nervous.

If Hongjun were to take action, Huanglong would have to pay a heavy price.

In the end, both sides might suffer losses, and even some of their cards might be exposed in advance. This is not the outcome Huang Long wants to see.

Fortunately, Hongjun was rational enough and did not take any action to stop this.

This way, a lot of trouble can be saved.

However, Huang Long also knew that Hongjun's tacit approval of this matter was actually a kind of transaction and was conveying a message.

Today, I will resurrect the Nine Nether Ghost Mother so that you can settle this cause and effect.

In the future, when God does things, you will need to let go once.

Otherwise, both new and old accounts will be settled together!

Huang Long had no objection to this.

Of course, the premise is that they must be equal and will not harm the interests of the authentic places too much.

If the Heavenly Dao adds a new character who has the potential to become a saint, Huang Long will not interfere.

If the result is more important than this matter, then there is no reason for him to just sit there and watch.

Human territory, ancient battlefield.

The Nine Nether Ghost Mother stood in front of the sedan chair. Seeing that Hongjun did not take any action, she breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Huang Long's plan had succeeded.

It is only a matter of time before I am fully resurrected and my cultivation level recovers to its peak.

As for whether she can improve her cultivation further and become a real saint, it all depends on her own calling. Huang Long cannot guarantee her anything, and no one can guarantee her anything.

The only thing Huang Long could do was to arrange a suitable path for her.

Thinking of this, the Nine Nether Ghost Mother first looked at the general not far away and said expressionlessly:
"Are you willing to submit to the underworld?"

Jiang Chen has a strong body. Although his cultivation is not as good as the Ghost King of Mangshan, his actual combat power is almost the same.

If a fight really breaks out, the Ghost King of Mangshan may not be able to defeat him.

However, for the Nine Nether Ghost Mother, it makes no difference to her whether he is the Ghost King of Mangshan or a general.

The reason why she calls herself the Ghost Mother is because she has the authority to control all ghosts.

As she herself said—

【All those belonging to ghosts and gods are under my control! 】

Even though her current cultivation has not recovered much, she can still use this authority to exert great restraint on the Ghost King of Mangshan and the generals.

In addition, she also has the powerful magic weapon, the Nine Nether Soul-Calming Umbrella.

In ancient times, this magic weapon was the most powerful treasure of the Nine Nether Ghost Mother.

Now, after Huang Long's years of refining, the Nine Nether Soul-Calming Umbrella not only has its original power, but also has the energy ability to drive away ghosts and gods.

Although the Nine Nether Soul-Calming Umbrella cannot be compared with the innate treasures, it is still more powerful than many top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

Especially before the Nine Nether Ghost Mother came here, she traveled around the prehistoric world and subdued a large number of ghosts and gods, making the Nine Nether Soul-Calming Umbrella even more powerful.

Coupled with her authority over ghosts, she was able to subdue the Ghost King of Mangshan without any effort, firmly suppressing him, and turning him into a force of the Nine Nether Soul-Calming Umbrella. It was the suppression of the quasi-saint Ghost King of Mangshan that made the Nine Nether Soul-Calming Umbrella more powerful, making it even less likely for the general to pose any threat.

The reason why she gave Jiang Chen a chance to choose was that she suppressed the Ghost King of Mangshan.

That's because the Ghost King of Mangshan violated the rules of the underworld and robbed too many souls. In order to maintain the dignity of the underworld, he must be punished.

But Jiang Chen is different. Ever since he was born with intelligence, he has never left this ancient battlefield. He has not even caused any killing, let alone violated the rules of the underworld.

In addition, Jiang Chen is the chief of the four great zombie ancestors.

Zombies are destined to belong to the creatures of the underworld. If they can be taken in, it will be of great benefit to the birth and growth of the zombie clan.

This was also something Huang Long specifically instructed.

After hearing the question from the Nine Nether Ghost Mother, Jiang Chen's eyes flickered. After thinking for a moment, he finally nodded.

"Yes, but you can't restrict my freedom!"

Seeing such a huge Ghost King of Mangshan disappear just like that, the generals and ministers did not have the slightest desire to fight.

Even if the Nine Nether Ghost Mother had not raised this question, he would have found a way to surrender voluntarily.

Now that the Nine Nether Ghost Mother has brought it up herself, he can just take advantage of the situation and also propose some conditions.

If the Nine Nether Ghost Mother agrees, that would be the best. If not, just pretend he didn't say anything...

However, the answer from the Nine Nether Ghost Mother was far beyond Jiang Chen's expectations.

"If you submit to the underworld, you will be a member of the underworld, and naturally your freedom will not be restricted."

"If you make contributions to the underworld, you can also gain merit from it."

"Also, I think you should also know that the prehistoric world is not suitable for you to practice. The netherworld is where you belong."

"Only with sufficient innate Yin Qi and innate dead Qi can you advance your cultivation further."

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that the Nine Nether Ghost Mother was so honest and the Netherworld was so sincere.

Having cultivated to this level, he could naturally discern that what the Nine Nether Ghost Mother said was true, and he also understood that he was indeed not suitable for the prehistoric world, but more suitable for the Netherworld.

In that case, there is nothing to hesitate about.

The general immediately bowed to the Nine Nether Ghost Mother to express his willingness to submit.

"I have met the Emperor of Fengdu. From now on, I am a member of the underworld and will be at the Emperor's disposal!"

Upon hearing this, the Nine Nether Ghost Mother breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, Huang Long's mission was completed and the events on the battlefield came to an end.

She returned to the sedan chair again, traveling around the ancient world and inspecting the ancient land.

But this time, there is an additional strong man, Jiang Chen, in the team.

As the Nine Nether Ghost Mother continued to travel around the prehistoric world, more and more people knew the name of the Lord of the Underworld, the Emperor of Fengdu.

The faceless statues in the human temples gradually underwent some imperceptible changes, as if they had some outlines of facial features.

time flies.

Before I knew it, a night had passed.

Many races, including humans, walked out of the room again under the sunshine.

In just one night, they felt as if they were in another world.

Human beings worshipped their ancestors and the gods of the earth more devoutly, praying for protection.

The races that originally did not take the human race's reminders seriously all had drastic changes in their attitudes after this night.

They followed the actions of humans, and the masters of the tribe used their magical powers to build temples, sculpt statues of gods, worship their ancestors, and enshrine earthly immortals, ghosts and gods!
After these preparations, their losses on the second night were significantly reduced.

However, the awe of the underworld has not diminished at all, and has even increased significantly.

This lasted for a month, and the night parade of thousands of ghosts and the passage of evil spirits finally came to an end.

During this period, anyone who violated the rules of the underworld, killed living beings, or stole souls, ghost cultivators, or ghosts, paid a sufficient price.

Either you give up your valuables to compensate the underworld, or you will be captured and suppressed.

Those with more serious circumstances were even killed on the spot!

Whether it is the Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Daluo Golden Immortal, or a quasi-saint like the Ghost King of Mangshan.

Once you are targeted by the underworld, you will not be able to escape.

For a time, all the creatures in the ancient world turned pale when talking about the underworld.

Some powerful beings who have good relations with the immortals in heaven want to use the name of heaven, hoping to scare away the underworld's messengers and rescue their friends.

The result was of no avail. Not only did he fail to save his friend, but he also got himself involved.

When Haotian heard this, he was immediately furious.

On the one hand, it is because these people use the name of Heaven at will.

On the other hand, after hearing the name of Heaven, the Underworld showed no mercy, which made Heaven feel a little embarrassed.

But even so, he couldn't take action.

The power of the underworld is definitely not something that the Heaven can deal with.

A month later, the Night Parade of Ten Thousand Ghosts ended, the evil soldiers disappeared, and the vast land returned to peace.

After this incident, the Underworld and the Earthly Immortal Palace built an indestructible wall in the hearts of all living beings in the prehistoric world, unless the sky collapsed and the earth sank, the prehistoric world would be destroyed.

Otherwise, no external object can shake the status of the underworld and the earthly immortal palace in their hearts.

Even the powerful ones at the level of Golden Immortal or Quasi-Sage sighed and the underworld's face changed drastically, warning their clansmen and disciples not to provoke the underground lineage.

Especially the Emperor of Heaven Haotian, he was even more depressed.

He knew that the Netherworld was powerful, but he didn't expect it to be this powerful.

In the past, he just thought that the Netherworld had Huanglong and Houtu in charge, and its high-end combat power was stronger than that of the Heavenly Court, but it was hard to say about other places.

Now it seems that both the mid-range and low-end combat power are much higher than that of the Heavenly Court.

Just the creatures from the netherworld that came out during this night parade of hundreds of ghosts and the passage of ghost soldiers are not comparable to those of the heavenly court.

Not to mention that there are three quasi-saints in the underworld, namely Minghe, Queen Mother of the West and Zhen Yuanzi. Among them, Minghe and Zhen Yuanzi have achieved enlightenment in a different way and their strength is stronger than that of ordinary quasi-saints.

No matter how confident Haotian was, he knew very well that without a long period of accumulation, it would be difficult for the Heavenly Court to catch up.

At the same time, he also understood why the Six Sages of Heaven were so nonchalant when they were recommending the Emperor of Heaven.

Although this position is good, it is also a hot potato.

If one cannot suppress the underworld, the supreme power of heaven and earth is only half, unable to truly rule the wilderness and achieve the great way.

Judging from the current situation, even if the Heavenly Court truly rises, it will have a large number of soldiers and generals, and be as powerful as the clouds.

Whether it can be on par with the Netherworld is still unclear. It is difficult to shake its position, let alone suppress it.

"We can't go on like this..."

Haotian muttered to himself and made a decision in his heart.

Decades later, he left behind a kind corpse to guard the heavenly palace, while his real body reincarnated and went away to overcome the calamity.

Long before Xuanyuan completed his merits, Xingtian went to heaven for unknown reasons and had a fight with Haotian.

Under the guidance of Huang Long and Hou Tu, Xing Tian's cultivation was no less than that of a quasi-saint.

Even though Haotian was blessed with the luck of heaven, he was also seriously injured when he initially chopped off Xingtian's head, severely injuring him.

Now, after experiencing the incident of the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, he felt a sense of urgency. He knew that he had to overcome the calamity and return to his position as soon as possible to gather the good fortune of heaven.

Otherwise, if this continues, the Heaven will always be suppressed by the Netherworld, and even the Underworld will be something that the Heaven will look up to!
Hou Tu did not obstruct Haotian's reincarnation.

After all, the other party is the Emperor of Heaven, so she has to give him some face. Besides, Hongjun is watching, so she can't do anything.
